OT: Friday afternoon/night drinking thread.

Submitted by drjaws on

This being my first MGoBlog thread, and being I'm very good at drinking, I thought I'd make a drinking thread.

First off, a "neat story bro."  I was in grad school at Berkely and was walking down Haight (yes, that Haight in San Fran) with my wife.  Of course I was maize and blue head to toe.  A woman in her 50's-60's in an easily $3000 suit was walking towards me.  As soon as she saw me she stopped and yelled "GO BLUE!  BEAT THOSE BUCKS!" then high fived me and went on her way.  Anyhoo.

I worked until 9pm last night so I got off work at noon and started the day with a Short's Soft Parade.  I know it is out of season but damn it tates good with lunch (Erbelli's pizza).  Since I got home I have been imbibing Bell's HopSlam with some Old Speckled Hen tossed in there.  Chasing my beer with Grey Goose (always stored freezer) and room temp. Crown Royal.

What're you drinking tonight?  I need some ideas to add to my arsenal.

Captain Lawrence IPA on the Metro North train to suburbia. Then Probably a Manhattan when I get to whatever restaurant I'll go to with the fam tonight. Topped off with a glass of Bowmore neat when the kids finally go down.

We're in the midst of Pizza / Movie Night here, and my daughter - who has excellent taste in MST3K episodes, has chosen "Manos: The Hands Of Fate". Of course, even as it is a funny episode, it is taking a few Blue Moons to get through the notion that it is still....well, Manos: The Hands Of Fate.

The Blue Moon will rool into hockey in a bit here.

Just bought a case of Deschute's The Abyss yesterday but I'm abstaining this weekend. We're headed to Jamaica on Sunday and I'm sure I'll be drinking more than enough during the week that we're there. I bet everyone feels real sorry for me.

Knob Creek and couple ice cubes. Been rethinking my Scotch/Bourbon strategy- seems even better in a stemless wine glass. Better nose, better overall experience. Yay for me!

Started with a local brewpub - Gonzo's - their session IPA now off to dinner and probably some Bourbon.  


RE Hopslam: Still some available here in Kalamazoo but not much!

Im gonna be honest... Fucking ham-ski right now.  Drinking everything under the sun,  Started with Short's Brew Shop Parade, then moved on to Two Hearted, After that had a few Jack and Cokes.  Now drinking awlejoaisdfasldkfjweio.  Next stop a girl named Megan's bedroom.  Will post pics or well it didnt happen i guess.  A constant thought of Harbaugh in the back of my head........ WTF?

I am currently on my 3rd Old Fashioned (double) made with the local still Buffalo Trace.  I suspect that this will be my last as that double turned into "pour the rest of the bottle into the glass" and tis' a lil' bit more than I expected.  *shrugs* Fuck it.

Drinking some from a Cincy local, Triple Digit Brewing.  Chickow! and Cranium.  Cranium is surprisingly similar to Bourbon County.  Had to go buy some more earlier today for the cellar.

near my work had this on tap.

So pissed that it was out by the time I got there.

Of course, 64 oz of 120 minute would = me unconscious.  My wife detests 120 (she is more of a Marzen-less hoppy/ABV girl).

Am on my 3rd Laphroaig 18.  All the smoky peat, smooth as butter.  May buy another bottle tomorrow.
